NEW VET GAME STARTING!

One of the best experiences in Imperial Wars is in the veteran games. The term veteran might imply to you that you have to have a played in a lot of games. Not so. Vets are those players who have played several simultaneous moves and understand the way the game works and enjoy it. While there are vets who have played in numerous games and new vets that doesn't necessarily mean that the advantage is all on the side of the long time vet. Imperial Wars requires such a unique blend of cooperation and competition that your competition will often want to share with you their 'tricks of the trade' so that you'll do better in helping their game. Also, a lot of the fun in Imperial Wars can be role-playing and amazing things happen when players decide to showcase their role-playing skills. Often its not about the points at the end but 'style' points that count.

Universe 211, the last Vet game was a lot of fun for the players in that universe. You can check out their forum posts at this link to get a glimpse of the role-playing that went on in this game. While the universe forums are fun and give us a bit of insight into how the game is played, the email messaging was was intense and intriguing, players say. Create the next legendary game experience by logging into the forums at VET GAME SIGNUP and posting your acceptance of the challenge.
